Gonna be honest. I ended up just sticking with Twitter. Its the only way I can really keep up on China stuff
With that said. I took a very long extended break from twitter, and this section of the forums (as may have noticed) and anything politics at all. Was the greatest, no stress or worries. But I do still like to keep informed, but it won't be what I do all the time or every day just occasionally. I can talk about doing stuff and trying to make a difference, but in the end, can't really do anything as some basement dweller with words, and I'm extremely anti-social, so its not like gonna go outside and start being super charismatic and getting people to change or also want to make a difference lol. So I'd rather just keep up with occasional news and my focus went from what I was doing before, to just focusing on my close family and the few close friends I've kept over the years.
But yeah, with all that said...its nice to see this thread turned into something very positive (and very different than it started lol). I haven't disappeared, just like I said, I've pretty much avoided all the political stuff (not 100% of it, but the vast majority compared to before). Granted, china I've kept a bit up to date on only as I've said in the ameripol thread in the past, I have a couple friends (and a family member) over there.
